Showcased by RS Components at the Elecontrica 2012 in Germany [watch video here] the £16 (apprx) module will be equipped with a 5MP sensor and will plug into the otherwise unused CSI pins of the Pi. The camera module's board is still in prototype stage and is expected to reach production sometime soon. Liz Upton, Executive Director of the Foundation said in a blog post, 'We've a (very) little way to go before we're able to send it out to manufacture.' According to Upton, testing slots have been booked in December to check on electromagnetic radiations from the ribbon cable."

Oh did you fix your supply problem? by Osgeld · 2012-11-23 07:10 · Score: -1, Flamebait

Since we are moving on to producing more stuff for the pi, that means all the supply problem for the board must be cleared up ... let me take a look
nope back-ordered, tell ya what ... when I can buy a pi on a total whim, and have it in the mail later that day, then I will care about what phantom accessories you have to sell.
